Pulmonary aspergillosis is a well known entity occurring in immunocompetent persons. Cutaneous aspergillosis, on the other hand, has been described in cases of suppressed immunity. Recently, invasive aspergillosis has been reported in patients with subtle immune dysfunction such as those with critical illness and advanced cirrhosis. We report a case of scrotal aspergillosis in association with ...

  Gastrointestinal aspergillosis most often occurs in the setting of disseminated infection from a primary pulmonary site and primary gastrointestinal aspergillosis is an unusual presentation. We report a 7 year old female child with aplastic anemia, who was under treatment but experienced periods of neutropenia. She had no evidence of respiratory aspergillosis before the onset of abdominal s...

the opportunistic mould aspergillus is a ubiquitous fungus. diseases caused by aspergillus species are most commonly caused by aspergillus fumigatus. the spectrum of disease caused by aspergillus is dependent on the health of the immune system. the ranges of illnesses individuals acquire are aspergilloma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, invasive aspergillosis, sinusitis, otomycosis, oc...

Purpose: Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to viral infection admitted at ICU are risk for secondary complications like invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Our study evaluates severe ARDS COVID-19 associated aspergillosis a single center in Madrid, Spain. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients two the five ICUs that were available Gregorio Maran...

Invasive aspergillosis, a major problem during the post-transplant period, typically presents with pneumonia or tracheobronchitis in lung transplant recipients. In contrast, primary cutaneous aspergillosis is very rarely observed in lung-transplant recipients. In this report, we describe a case of tracheobronchial aspergillosis following primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a lung-transplant reci...

SUMMARY Because Aspergillus SP. are one of the most common airborne fungal contaminants in all parts of the world, the incidence of Aspergillosis is relatively high, but will not be diagnosed in some cases. In this survey we decided to review the importance of Aspergillosis and also to report a case of its Central Nervous system involvement in a patient without Immunodeficiency.

OBJECTIVE We retrospectively investigated the clinical features of pulmonary aspergillosis associated with interstitial pneumonia. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of all patients treated for interstitial pneumonia with or without pulmonary aspergillosis at our institution between April 2006 and August 2012 and evaluated the clinical features as well as risk and prognostic factors for ...

BACKGROUND Data on the accuracy of conventional histomorphologic diagnosis are limited, especially in mucormycosis. We therefore investigated the accuracy of histomorphologic diagnosis of mucormycosis and aspergillosis, using immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests for mucormycosis and aspergillosis. METHODS Patients enrolled met the modified criteria for proven and probable mucormycosis (during a 2...
